Treasury: No increase in terror funding by Iran after cash payment
Washington Examiner ^ | 9/22/16 | Joseph Lawler

Posted on 09/22/2016 9:40:15 AM PDT by Nachum

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Thursday that the administration has not seen evidence that Iran's financial support for terrorism has grown since the U.S. paid the regime $1.7 billion in cash in January.

"We have not seen an increase in terrorist financing by Iran," Lew told the House Financial Services Committee.

But Lew also acknowledged that he wasn't aware if there was any way to trace how Iran uses the cash. Republicans pressed him on whether the U.S. recorded the serial numbers on the bills that were shipped to Iran, but Lew said he did not know.

The U.S. arranged for $1.7 billion in cash to be sent to Iran as part of a settlement with Iran over a decades-old deal for military equipment that was never finalized.

Define funding.

Perhaps a better question would be: how many of the illegals/undocumented migrants arriving across our porous borders arrived since the secretive payoff by this administration?

Many freepers bought that lie.

Yeah, we have such "GOOD INTELLIGENCE" these days, don't we? I am certain that all the millions in various countries' currency delivered by our cargo plane are being closely tracked (NOT)!

Hey Jack,

Whyizit you can tell where Iranian money does or doesn’t go but you can’t tell us where $6,000,000,000 in State Dept. money went?

Like Trump has said, they don't need to use the money for terrorist funding. That is already in their budget. The money will be used to enrich the Imams and to build nuclear bombs.

There, where the money went is solved.

Oh, well, since this is from the federal government’s Treasury Department under Obama, of course, then, what were we all talking about? Of course the government’s always right and we’re always wrong and if something goes wrong it’s never the government’s fault.

In this case, the Obama government’s reasoning is that unconstitutional and treasonous aiding and abetting of our enemy is perfectly fine because they claim, true of false, they have not yet seen an increase in their threat to us.

It is these kinds of convoluted rationalizations for constitutional treasonous acts that should have bounced Obama out of the WH years ago.

Because Iran shares their terror funding numbers with Jack Lew, even on a weekly basis ......
